Congratulations!


Geechie Dan, I have a question for you and Djmarkxr7 as well:

Back in the 70's and 80's many of the R&B groups were bands that actually played their own instruments;however, today I struggle to name more than 3 bands that play their own instruments (i.e. The Roots, Mint Condition)?
Furthermore, why is it that can't find a rock group that doesn't play their own instruments?

Only takes 15 years for a song to become old school (roughly a generation)

:dance: Just grooving to "Money's Too Tight to Mention" in the car! :dance:

And yeah I'm "old" if you want to call it that. :hmm:
 
Shit I was negative -5 lmfao


But I still know some of them songs...gotta em on my spotify list now
 
A couple of interesting names on the 82 list....

Donald Fagen,never thought of him as r&b...he is better known for being part of Steely Dan.

The Tom Tom club,better known for being part of the rock band Talking Heads...but that cut was r&b,sort of.

Was (Not Was)....better known for being,just weird.

Never thought I would see any of the above on an r&b chart.

Yeah I get mistaken for younger as well. Physically, I don't feel that much different either. I'm a lot smarter about things though.

It's funny, I stopped listening to R&B for a little while in '85 because of so many Black artists trying so hard to crossover to white radio (Lionel Richie, 'Dancing On The Ceiling'...Pointer Sisters, etc.)I hated that watered-down sound. Hip hop was BANGIN then though...
